Samsung SDS, a Samsung subsidiary, needed to modernize its Knox Portal, an internal collaboration platform with almost half a million users, by moving to a microservices architecture and open-source software. Facing high operating costs with Oracle, they migrated over 80% of their databases for this critical application to MariaDB Enterprise Server. This transition achieved zero-downtime upgrades, global real-time data synchronization, and a more than 50% reduction in operating costs, ensuring service continuity and stability for 80 Samsung affiliates worldwide. MariaDB's transparency and performance proved to be a cost-effective choice, enhancing developer and DBA capabilities.

Visma Proceedo, a critical purchase-to-pay cloud solution in the Nordic region serving nearly a million users and processing 12 million invoices yearly with over 20TB of data, faced limitations and rising costs with its legacy proprietary database. After a two-year migration project, Visma successfully transitioned to MariaDB Enterprise Server. This move significantly improved average response times from 1.5-2 seconds to under 700 milliseconds and achieved roughly 10% annual savings in license and support costs. MariaDB's support and proactive improvement proposals also exceeded expectations.

DBS Bank, Southeast Asia's largest bank, sought to modernize its technology and reduce reliance on costly proprietary database solutions. They successfully migrated over 30 mission-critical applications, including corporate banking and payment engines, to MariaDB. This strategic move delivered 30 to 70 percent cost savings, enhanced flexibility, enabled real-time data streaming via MaxScale, and provided comprehensive monitoring with Monyog, all while ensuring compliance with strict financial regulations. DBS now champions open-source technology, sharing its success with MariaDB in the financial industry.
